SHAMELESS

A Psychological Fantasy-Suspense Novel

What if your shame could be erased — but an innocent stranger had to carry it? Psychologist Evelyn Hart travels to the immaculate American town of Bellwether after receiving a disturbing message from her missing sister, Claire. Claire has undergone Absolution, a revolutionary treatment that promises freedom from guilt, painful memories and public disgrace. But Lucent's celebrated technology does not destroy shame. It transfers it. For every wealthy and influential client who leaves with a spotless conscience, a vulnerable stranger inherits the fear, memories and consequences they abandoned. Evelyn's investigation leads her to the Mercy Glass, a supernatural mirror once used by Bellwether's founders to protect respectable citizens by creating scapegoats. Now Lucent intends to offer Absolution to millions through a single broadcast. To save Claire and stop the transfer, Evelyn must confront a reflection without conscience, a town addicted to judgement and a terrifying choice that could condemn thousands of innocent people. Shameless is a gripping psychological fantasy-suspense novel exploring surveillance, cancel culture, privilege, moral hypocrisy and the dangerous human desire to escape responsibility.
